ion ray gun

remeber a while ago I said I wanted to make some cool high voltage weapon in the shape of a gun? Well I've dicided to make an ion ray gun! The only problem is that I don't want to pay for plans (that's just not right, half the time they probably jip you). The closest thing I've found is this:http://www.freeinfosociety.com/site.php?postnum=250but that doesn't help me with saftey procosions (sorry, having a bad spelling day).

Basically I need help for the schematics and the safe way to build and handle one. I don't want a wimpy one either, I want a medium power one, like do stuff from 10-20 feet or something like that.

I don't think it's illegal, all it is (correct me if I'm wrong) is a really high dc voltage pulsed through a sharp object emitting ions? for all of you saying negative ions don't make you better, here's reason. Negative ions speed up the cilias in your body, making everything work faster and stronger or something like that.

I don't want something toooo dangerous. Rail guns are nice and all (I was about to make a coilgun, which is awesome too) but I mean it's just... uhhh. more so useless? Like you couldn't do as cool demonstrations with it. Big woop it shoots stuff, but an ion ray gun is invisable stuff, so people are like wooahhh

no. 1) an ion gun display nothing. no one sees anything. for all they know, its not working 2) reverse the last diode in the link i provided 3)your demonstration will be boring, as there will be nothing to see 4)a coil gun is a better plan 5) ill think up more reasons why this is a bad idea later. i have an electronic pessimist meeting now.
